"The great battle of my life draws near! - Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr."

California, February 9

The Mushroom Kingdom is trading its green pipes for the stars.

During the 2026 Super Bowl clash between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, Universal Pictures and Nintendo officially launched the "Level Up" trailer for 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', confirming a theatrical rollout beginning April 1, 2026, as per the Hollywood Reporter.

Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, the sequel to the blockbuster follows Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) as they venture into outer space alongside Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key).

The footage posted by the makers on their official social media handles, highlights new gravitational mechanics, showing the heroes running upside down in space suits as they navigate the cosmos.

A major highlight of the trailer is the introduction of Princess Rosalina, voiced by Brie Larson, who warns of the universe's fabric unraveling from the Comet Observatory.

The stakes are further raised by Benny Safdie's debut as Bowser Jr., who pilots a massive "Megaleg" mech suit and declares, "The great battle of my life draws near!"

The trailer also leans into fan-favourite cameos and humour. A prominent sequence features Yoshi alongside Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, with the green dinosaur seen eating Kamek (Kevin Michael Richardson).

In a nod to Super Mario Odyssey, a realistic T-Rex chases the group after Baby Mario disturbs its slumber.

Produced by Chris Meledandri and Shigeru Miyamoto, the film aims to build on the massive success of the 2023 original.

Following its April 1 debut, the movie will hit the United States on April 3 and Japan on April 24.

Brie Larson as Rosalina is perfect casting! 🎉 Super Mario Galaxy was my favourite Wii game. Seeing the Comet Observatory and the gravity mechanics in the trailer gave me so much nostalgia. April 2026 feels so far away!

The first movie was a huge hit here in India. My whole family loved it. This sequel looks even bigger and better. The Yoshi cameo and the T-Rex chase look hilarious. Definitely a theatre watch for the full experience.

I appreciate them keeping Shigeru Miyamoto involved. It shows respect for the original creator and the source material. The humor seems on point. Though I wish they'd cast an actual Italian-American voice actor for Mario, just saying.

The release in Japan is almost a month after the US? That's surprising. Usually it's the other way around for Nintendo properties. Anyway, the Megaleg mech suit looks epic! Bowser Jr. seems like a great villain.

Mario in space suits! 😂 This is going to be so much fun. The first film brought back so many childhood memories. Hollywood finally understands how to adapt video games properly. Hope the story is as good as the animation.
